Bunker Comes Out for Bill Haslam for Governor

- Commissioner Wyatt Bunker
In a letter to Haslam dated Thursday, June 10, Bunker refers to an “enjoyable” meeting between himself and Haslam the week before and expresses satisfaction at what he calls Haslam’s “candid support” of Bunker’s own positions in favor of the 2nd amendment and opposed to a state income tax. He also expresses solidarity with Haslam on the issue of “Limited Government.”
Stating his confidence that the next Tennessee governor will be a Republican, Bunker informs Haslam that “this written notice serves as my official endorsement of your candidacy in the Republican Primary for Governor of the great State of Tennessee.”
The campaign of Chattanooga congressman Wamp had put out an endorsement list two weeks ago that featured Wamp’s name, along with those of commission colleagues Mike Ritz and Joyce Avery and commissioners-elect Heidi Shafer, Chris Thomas, and Terry Roland. Bunker subsequently said he had not given permission for his name to be used. So did Shafer,but she consented to have her name used,
The third Republican candidate for governor is Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey of Blountville; Jackson businessman Mike McWherter, a Democrat, also seeks the office.

this is a very well written article. It seems that Haslams PR man , Tom Ingram, was writing this at 5:02 pm on a weekday. thats about the time he has had his 3rd drink of the day. Haslam is buying anybody that can be bought. Wyatt Bunker just sold his endorsment for a later campaign contribution. Haslams PR man Tom Ingram is a total drunk and wrote this blog post in his own hand. For anyone who is still confused, Zack is running for Governor and Bunker is the one who sold his endorsment to the Haslams.

@p38vol, Haslam is just trying to buy this election and every endorsement... every single one.
Yes, it is the same fight; Afganistan today and !970 Viet-Nam. It is imperialism of the sort where we have contractors wanting our tax money into their coffers; for the women and oppulence they can buy with it. One difference now is that the Afgans will not let the US g.i's get ahold of their women. South Vietnam and Saigon or 'Ho Chi Menh' city was more open and initially freindly, to us. The vietnamese are a beautiful and intelligent people.
The current U.S. military policy is the same as for the 'contra war'; under Reagan. I'm reading a Great book by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz which is a memoir that covers soo much of what students need to consider now, before they sell out wholesale to the right-wing and to the collusion which gives us 'Obamanomics'.

I wonder how much money is Haslam getting from Redflex and ATS traffic camera companies?
Forget about the oil. If Haslam gets elected there will be a traffic scamera on every corner... he's another big brother lovin, liberty hatin politician. He put 15 traffic scameras in Knoxville
